But what if it were brown and manual and diesel?

Good question, but I was more curious about his ‘friend’ Dave who happened to be nearby...

Agreed. They’ve been saying for many years at autoshows that ‘This is the year we’ll enter the US market’. Each time, this statement makes a splash in China, but the safety-test failures prevent entry. The cars are safe enough for the Chinese domestic market, but it costs a lot more to make them safe enough for ours.…

Thanks. I was just about to say something similar. The ‘whatabout America’s (something bad)’ is usually a giveaway.

Oh, I love these. I’ve been pricing 1969 Mark IIIs the past few days. Some pretty good deals, though none I like within this guy’s budget.

‘The wheels are OK, though’. Chef’s kiss.

Maybe he meant “NASCARs and Coffee”?

I thought houses burn ‘down’ and cars burn ‘up’

Oh, nice one

I was living in China when this car company first launched there about ten years ago. We had a few laughs when the company at first denied that they chose a company name because it sounds like an established car name (Lincoln company, anyone?).
